hi there, I have a question regarding plantar wart. My dad has one on the bottom of his foot. he went to his primary doctor who referred him to the ER where he got some kind of scanning done and nothing was found. He also went to a foot specialist who told him to put neosporin on it. He continues to hurt and is limping at the moment. And still paying the big billed he received from seeing all this doc, ER and speicalist.
Hello, Thanks for the query, Plantar warts are viral infection caused by HPV virus. Treatment is by local application of keratolytics like salicylic acid. If you dont get relief with these, radiofrequency ablator can be used to destroy the virus affected skin. Maintain personal hygiene, wash your feet twice daily with soap and water. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you a good health.
